Germany,s Military Service.

1t is the habit, both in this country and
in England, to consider the compulsory
military service that prevails in Germany
as necessary but u1lmitigated evil. Such
an opinion seems to me to show very
inadequate appreciation Of what military
service does for the men who undergo it.
I have little hesitation in saying that uni
versal military training is one of the most
desirable regulations that can be imagined.
A very slight acquaintance with the Ger
man peasant before his three years with
the colors and afterwards will prove to
an unprejudiced mind that the man has
improved wonderfully. From the dull,
clumsy clodhopper has been brought
forth an active, skillful and alert man,
with the knowledge how best to use his
physical powers, with habits of punctu-
ality and order of which he formerly had
not the smallest inkling, and with a sense
of responsibility and self respect far be-
yond the range Of vision Of the country
pumpkin. He is better man physically,
mentally and morally than he ever was
before, and the time spent in the army
instead of being wasted, did more for his
character than any other part of his edu-
cation. Germany pays heavy price for
her army, but even should war never
again break out, it would be q sad day
for that land when military service
should be abandoned Kuestner ir

The Market for TOYS.

''Revivals in children's toys are con-
tinually taking place." said q man who
makes a living by buying up job lots of
merchandise. "Just now the little tele-
phones that were such u source of Won
der and amusement to the young people
few years ago are coming into fashion
again. The trade in toys is peculiar
one. Nothing could be more uncertain;
but when once n gimcrack has caught ON
with the small boy, it proves a fortune to
all concerned. This fact makes the capi-
talist ready enough to help the poor in
ventor put new toy on the market. The
result does not long remain in doubt. The
success of the toy is either instantaneous
or not at all, for child soon tires of
plaything. New York is the first market
for nearly all the now toys, and after one
has had it's run hero it makes its appear
ance in all the principal cities in regular
order. Six months is tho average run Of o
new toy, after which something new is
sure to be sprung upon the market.
"a toy to be success must be cheap
and retail for not more than dime. To
make profit at this figure it must be
manufactured in large quantities. AS
natural result when toy has had its run
the manufacturer finds himself with
big stock left over on his hands. At first
he wants nearly as much for them as
they cost to make, but after they have
been numbering up his place for num-
ber of years he is willing to dispose Of
them for a mere trifle. When buy q
job lot Of old fashioned toys the first thing
do is to salt the market. It would be
useless to try and sell them without,
because although new generation OF
toy players has sprung up in the interim,
no boy wants an old toy that none of the
other children are playing with.
''In salting the market I employ
number of agents, who distribute few
free samples of the toy among children
In different parts of the city. At the
same time they leave trial boxes for sale
in the stores. The toy thus gets a new
lease of life; every small boy must have
one. New York Sun Interview.

Scenes In Holland.

Behind these cities stretch away the
mysterious, endless fields of Holland; who
can describe them, or rightly appreciate
them? The opulence Of tone and color:
the unity and mystery of the vast
meadows, pierced in every direction with
canals, dotted with villages, cities and
isolated houses; the ever present wind
MILL and, above all, the magnificent
cloud arrangement. Here you have a
wide expanse of pure, deep green, broken
by lines of azure bitches and canals; be-
yond, cluster of velvety red houses, the
apex OF the irregular mass q gray church
tower, thanked by windmills; and behind
and beyond. the tender distance pulsating
with rich color, or u narrow, lonely road,
bort!ered by slender silver lines of water,
winding through the green meadows; at
a near turn stands windmill, its thatch,
toned by sun and rain to warm brown
ochre, broken by cold, greenish lines of
woodwork, and stretching into the vast
sky its giant arms, perhaps carrying sails
OF ivory or russell canvas, q part of the
vide horizon, blurred by the movement
'f waving gray willows masking lonely
mouse. The interiors of the villages are
simply symphonies in color. The ancient
bricks of the houses are a real red, or
pale yellow; the woodwork frames,
etc.--is usually a Whitley green, harmon
Szing perfectly with the trees and fields,
while the reds give the complimentary
eontrast.-George Hitchcock in Scrib-
uer's.

Dom Pedro,s Peculinrities,

While am on the subject of dinners,
may mention one of Dom Pedro's pecu-
liarities. He eats very, very rapidly, and
when he is in his own palace he talks con-
tinually to his guests, or rather continu-
ally questions them, SO that they have the
opportunity to open their mouths-only
10 reply.
1t is related that once he invited the
representative Of a great country to ac-
company him when he opened new
railroad. After the ceremony Dom Pedro
and his guest were to lunch at the buffet
Of the railway station. Hardly had they
taken their places than the emperor
finished and was on his way to the train.
The starving ambassador, who had not
tasted mouthful, was determined not to
be deprived of his repast, and, as he fol-
lowed, filled his pockets with cakes,
crackers and fruits that he ate in secret
while taking his seat in the car.-New
York Mail and Express.
